U. of Tennessee-Chattanooga wants accused rapist expelled
Story here. (Background here.) Excerpt:
'Corey Mock, the former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestler expelled after he was accused of sexually assaulting a fellow student last spring, won't graduate this semester. And now the school wants him gone for good.
Mock returned to campus two weeks ago after a Davidson County, Tenn., chancellor granted a stay so he could complete his studies. But his father, C.D. Mock, said Corey found out after returning that two classes he needs for graduation won't be offered until the summer session.
After a bench ruling like the chancellor's, it's normal for the winning party, in this case Mock's attorney, to file a proposed order, and for the university to file either an objection or another proposed order. In this case, the university's response seems to be particularly aggressive.
...
After finding out that Mock won't graduate, a university attorney Tuesday filed an objection to Mock's motion for an injunction, saying he believed the spring 2015 graduation date was a "deciding factor" in Chancellor Carol McCoy's decision to stay Mock's expulsion pending his appeal.
...
C.D. Mock said he doesn't understand why the university is seeking to remove his son from the school altogether. He pointed to the fact that the young woman who says Mock raped her is no longer on campus.
"They have absolutely nothing to gain and nothing to lose, that I can fathom," Mock said.'
